FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Are our breeding parents DNA tested?
Yes our parents are DNA tested by Orivet. We won’t breed litters without first DNA testing our parents. Our puppies won’t be affected by testable genetic illnesses as tested by Orivet. We don’t provide a copy of the report, but families are welcome to view the reports when they pick a puppy.

Can we visit the puppy?
Yes, we’d love you to! You may visit to pick a puppy from the litter, then at 4 and 6 weeks. Pick up of puppy is at 8 weeks. We update weekly by video chats, messenger or facetime and we are constantly uploading the progress of our pups on our page. Before you visit the puppy you will be requested to agree to our Conditions of Visit and provide identification. This is to protect our litter and our family home from ill intentioned people. You may also see the parents of our litter.
Are your puppies toilet trained?
We start toilet training our puppies from 3.5 weeks old. They are trained on artificial grass. The family will need to continue this training as puppies differ from each other. Some puppies are easier to toilet train than others, so consistency rests with the family to have a successfully toilet trained puppy.

What if we need to rehome our puppy?
We understand that family circumstances change and sometimes a puppy has to be rehomed. We offer assistance with finding another suitable home for the puppy. We recommend you ensure that you are in a position to adopt a puppy and understand that it is a lifelong commitment. We first recommend that you reach out to family and friends to rehome your puppy. We can also post on our page if you need assistance to rehome your puppy. We do not offer refunds if you need to rehome your puppy.
Do you offer a health guarantee?
Candy’s Cavoodles guarantee that your puppy is healthy at time of pick up. You’ll have 3 business days to take your puppy to a vet for a health inspection for your guarantee to be valid. Our guarantee is, if your puppy falls ill or dies with a GENETIC illness before 12 months of age, we will refund your money in full when you supply a vet letter to confirm the genetic condition caused the illness or death. An autopsy must be performed to determine cause of death. We won’t be held responsible if your puppy falls sick or dies in your care, due to and not limited virus, bacteria, ingested toxins, poisons, toxic plants, choking, environmental causes etc. Once the puppy leaves our home we are not responsible for any injuries. We DNA test all our breeding parents and ensure they are in good breeding health. Our puppies are also vet checked, wormed and vaccinated before they go their families. We trust families do the right thing by their puppy’s diet, environment and training to ensure they are kept in optimum health and good behaviour. Puppies are prone to accidents and illnesses. We recommend taking out insurance for your new puppy for at least the first two years of its life prior to bringing him home. We provide up to 8 weeks FREE pet insurance for all our families who adopt a puppy from Candy’s Cavoodles.
